California’s Burbank Unified School District has removed five classics from its curriculum over racism charges, but a conservative youth organization is stepping up to offer the books to students. CHICAGO TEACHERS UNION SEEKS INJUNCTION AGAINST REOPENING SCHOOLSYoung America’s Foundation (YAF) announced it will now offer the books to students free of charge. “In addition to putting the books Burbank schools are attempting to hide directly into students’ hands, YAF is calling on those with the power to do the right thing—the board members of the Burbank Unified School District—to immediately rescind their ban on these books,” YAF wrote on Twitter. The organization urged parents to contact the school district to share their thoughts. The Burbank School District has pushed back on the notion that the books have been banned.
